The frustration I am still feeling after yesterday's 0-0 draw at home to Burnley is still coursing through my veins. It makes me clench my fists harder because yesterday felt like a game we just had to - by some way or another - get a scrappy win and then we could reset. But Burnley [...]
It's Burnley, it's at home, they've had plenty of rest and we've had both the physical and mental hit that the game against Liverpool did to us on Thursday last week. But Arsenal cannot feel sorry for itself today, we simply cannot afford it, if we want this season to be one in which we [...]
Morning folks. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Another Arsenal-less Saturday it is, although let's be honest, we're going to have to get used to that in the immediate future, because in February we only have two matches to play! I know it's a short month, but it won't feel like it from an Arsenal [...]
It’s funny how watching a game in real time really colours your opinion of what has actually happened on the pitch. It’s also funny how the narrative of the result also makes you consider a performance a little differently. When the full time whistle went yesterday what was going through my mind was relief at [...]
There are some universal truths in life: death, taxes and Burnley fans booing something an opposition player does even though he was in fact probably fouled. And Burnley's fans are the booiest fans you'll ever see. If there was a sweepstake on the first minute at which the Burnley fans would boo Arsenal today, I [...]
Mikel had his pre-Burnley press conference yesterday and as is the way these days, he said some things that I'll be darned if I don't end up getting excited when I hear him talk. I know football is about what is on the pitch, I know that the football has not been great for a [...]
We got to hear from our newbie yesterday, with the club dropping a fresh new video of Tomiyasu talking at London Colney to the chap that usually does the Arsenal Media videos and I have to say I was impressed. His English was excellent for somebody who has been in Japan, Belgium and then Italy [...]
Morning folks. How are you guys doing? Are you still as frustrated as me with what happened over the weekend? I was so frustrated, in fact, that yesterday I just couldn't be arsed to write anything. Normally I'll always write a post-match blog, but I just couldn't be bothered with it. Why? Football is why. [...]
Morning folks. Hope you're having a good one. I have spent the morning awake since 5.50am as The Management's decision to have a kitten is coming back to bite us. Not literally, but figuratively speaking, as the little toe rag spent the morning pulling clothes out of the washing basket and generally making a racket [...]
Happy Friday to you and your kin. I hope you are feeling fantabulous? More fantabulous than me no doubt, whose feline friend has discovered how to open does and so has taken to jumping on mine and The Management's bed at 5.30am in the morning to say 'hi'. But such is life, we just have [...]
